This study examines attitudes toward people with AIDS (PWAs) of a group of 853 7th, 8th, and 9th graders living in high-risk communities in the suburbs of a large Midwestern city. Females appear to be more tolerant than males, and whites appear to be more tolerant than other racial/ethnic groups with respect to attitudes toward PWAs. Although knowledge about actual modes of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission is not correlated with attitudes toward PWAs, students with greater knowledge about HIV transmission through casual contact, transmission of HIV through blood products, ways of preventing HIV infection, and myths about HIV prevention have more tolerant attitudes toward PWAs. Students who have ever had sexual intercourse are significantly less tolerant of PWAs. Implications of these findings for youth AIDS education are presented.
